If your a racer, someone who loves racing games then it's a 9.5, if your just a gamer then it's a 9.0 Either way, it's worth every penny for one simple reason.
There is no other racing game that is this real. This is what it feels like to go down the road at a hundred and fifty five miles per hour in a Ferrari 430. So in case you where wondering this is how it feels.
The game is amazing in that aspect, it starts off slow as it should so you build a great appreciation for what is to come. The fast cars, the Corvette ZO6 (one of my fav's) The Ferrari 599, 430 when you finally get to those cars you start to see a different game. Speed is done so well here you can tell a Ferrari from a Ford focus. Everything is so real.
I turned off Traction control to let it get a little lose in turns and the car drove so different I was amazed at how well that is captured in a video game. I mean in real life you can't take turns like that with the traction control off because you would kill your self.
So to get that down just shows the level of detail. GT5p is what a racing game is all about, and you won't find a better one. Running at 1080p on a plasma takes the breath away. It's unreal.
Who can say they know of a racing game with better graphics, there is none.
As a racing game fan I must say to not have this in the collection of PS3 games would be a serious mistake. I Love the in-car view, it really makes a game that was already amazing, something truly sweet. And brings with it a hell of a lot of replay value. Going on tracks backwards.. So sweet, going backwards on a track while using in-car view.. Priceless.
The more time I spend trying to squeeze a second off my best time the more I fall in-love with the game. (This will help make the long waiting time for GT5 (summer of 2009) which would be unbearable with out this Prologue -so enjoy this game.)
It's worth every penny, and there is no way you would regret buying this one.
iLLGaming contributor Anikait Makkar writes about the gaming industry's current business practices, and how it affects the consumer.
free to play no matter how good the game is if it is a free to play i dont play.
i want to pay full price for a full balanced experience unlocks shouldn't be earned by money but by the hard work you put in the game.
my free to play nightmares are borderlands,diablo,titanfall,w arhawk 2,halo and star wars battlefront.
Worst business practices
Paying to play online (PS+, XBL)
Season passes
disc locked content
Paid DLC (DLC should be free unless it is significant enough to be an expansion)
Paying to use your own internet, DLC (all of it, I'd rather have expansion packs with a ton of content), DLC coming out a week after the game's release, incomplete games with missing sections sold as DLC, pre order bonuses, short and pointless campaigns, not having server lists (like COD which insert you into random games and maps), expensive and permanent digital prices, yearly sequels with minor changes at full price, lack of challenging AI, lack of originality, and most of Micro$ofts "business practices." This may sound like a hateful statement, but I blame M$ for bringing most of these things to consoles. I remember when there free and inexpensive map packs on Live in the early years of 2006 and 2007, then they started pinching pennies.
Who else here has been gaming long enough to remember when paying $50 got you the WHOLE game? No left-out content sold as DLC, disc-locked content, season passes, outfits, avatars, etc.
Excuse me, I need to go have a cry at what has happened to my beloved hobby.

Chillopedia.com | PlayStation 3 is the hot favourite console in the console gaming community. Game developers know this and they try to make the best out of it by introducing addictive and interesting games now and then. We have compiled a list of top 10 driving games for PS3.
lol I like the if you're just a gamer it's a 9.0 ^^ yup I agree
But hey don't forget the Cooper S! That was the first one I bought ;)
along with the fact that they made it noob friendly well unless you know nothing about cars then getting your first car would of been bad for a good amount of people.
The after race menu needs to change really. Why have retry your first option? It should just bring you to the main menu after a race and I wish the soundtracks started playing a little sooner in a race.
Very well put. I agree if your a racing fan then this game is creeping up towards a 10. People who don't enjoy racing games just can't totally see why its just so great. As a fan of these great cars this game hits me right where I'm most venerable so I just love it
Great review
